We tend to forgot that “Entrepreneur” was originally a French word. France leads Europe in its enthusiasm for Web 2.0 startups.

Our local team is involved in multiple projects, from corporate to brands, governmental and educative programs. As most of French people, we consider work is a mean, not an end, we are epicure, love good food wine and any pleasure life can offer. We also work 35 hours per week, have 5.5 weeks of vacations and more official days off than anybody else but… we still deliver on time.
We are significantly present in the local tech scene were we share best practices, ideas and resources. We are regularly invited to conferences across the countries and are very active on Twitter and social media.
